Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical equipment technology, and in particular relates to a material bag storage device that is easy to pick up and put down. Background Technology

[0002] Traditionally, retrieving pre-packaged ingredients (such as hot pot base or ready-to-eat meals) from a refrigerator usually requires manually opening the refrigerator door and searching for the desired ingredient. This method has the following disadvantages: high labor costs, especially in commercial settings where frequent retrieval is required; and low efficiency, particularly when there are many different types of ingredients and they are densely packed.

[0018] This invention features a specially designed rotating storage mechanism for food packets inside the refrigerator, which facilitates the classification, storage, and rapid retrieval of food packets, saving manpower and improving efficiency. The tray can be designed with a multi-layer structure, enabling dense storage of a large number of food packets, and the rotation method allows food packets from any position to be delivered to the retrieval port, thus improving space utilization.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, a convenient storage device for material bags includes:

[0026] Refrigerator body 1;

[0027] The material bag storage and rotation mechanism 2 is installed inside the refrigerator body 1 and is used to store and transport material bags;

[0028] An electric door switch 3 is installed at the door of the refrigerator body 1 and is used to open and close the refrigerator door;

[0029] And control systems.

[0030] The material package storage rotating mechanism 2 includes a material tray support 22 rotatably mounted inside the refrigerator body 1 via a bearing 21, a material tray 23 fixed on the material tray support 22, and a rotating drive mechanism 24 for driving the material tray support 22 to rotate; the lower end of the material tray support 22 is connected to a ratchet mechanism 25, which ensures that the material tray support 22 can only rotate in one direction, and is used to achieve precise indexing rotation of the material tray support 22; the material tray 23 is fixedly mounted on the material tray support 22 and is used to store multiple material packages in layers.

[0031] The control system includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the rotary drive mechanism 24, the electric door switch 3, and the robotic arm.

[0032] The controller, such as a PLC, is installed in a control box outside the refrigerator to coordinate the movements of the rotary cylinder, drive cylinder, robotic arm, and vacuum suction cup.

[0033] As an optimized solution of the above embodiment, the rotary drive mechanism 24 is a rotary cylinder.

[0034] As an optimized embodiment of the above, the electric door switch 3 includes a drive cylinder and a refrigerator door. The piston rod of the drive cylinder is connected to the refrigerator door and is used to drive the automatic opening and closing of the refrigerator door.

[0035] When the controller issues a command, the piston rod of the drive cylinder extends or retracts, thus realizing the automatic opening and closing of the refrigerator door.

[0036] As an optimized embodiment, the tray 23 includes multiple vertical storage spaces, each arranged circumferentially around the same rotational axis. Four or six vertical storage spaces may be provided.

[0037] As an optimization of the above embodiment, a robotic arm is provided outside the refrigerator body 1 to grab the material package from the material package storage and rotation mechanism 2.

[0038] The gripping mechanism is a vacuum suction cup used to pick up and grasp the material package. The robotic arm is also equipped with a sensor for detecting distance, which is a laser rangefinder or an ultrasonic rangefinder.

[0039] Specifically, the robotic arm is located on the outside of the refrigerator door. Its robotic arm is a three-degree-of-freedom Cartesian robot, capable of movement in the X, Y, and Z directions. A vacuum suction cup is installed at the end of the robotic arm, connected to an external vacuum generator via an air tube. An ultrasonic ranging sensor is installed on the side of the vacuum suction cup to detect the distance between the robotic arm and the material tray 23 or material bag during the grasping process, preventing collisions and assisting in positioning.

[0040] To better understand this utility model, the working principle of this utility model will be described in detail below:

[0041] After receiving the material picking command, the controller first controls the drive cylinder to automatically open the refrigerator door. Then, based on the material bag position information, the controller controls the rotary drive mechanism 24 to rotate. Through the cooperation of the ratchet mechanism 25 and the positioning device, the material tray 23 is driven to rotate, moving the target material bag to the picking station aligned with the refrigerator door.

[0042] Next, the controller controls the movement of the robotic arm. The robotic arm, carrying a vacuum suction cup, extends into the refrigerator. With the help of a distance sensor for positioning, it moves to above the target package, and the vacuum suction cup works to pick up and grab the package.

[0043] Finally, the robotic arm removes the material bag and transports it to the next workstation. After the material is retrieved, the drive cylinder closes the refrigerator door.

[0044] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
